Week 2 DFS Player Pool

Week 2 is upon us! I have already narrowed my list down a great deal at this point. I texted some friends and said I think my player pool is unusually small for mid-week. I think some of it has to do with the lack of value and tighter pricing this week. Week 1 always provides tremendous value due to the player pricing being out for a month before the games play. This week there is some value, but not enough.

Who did I miss last week? Kenny Stills. I had him on my original list and crossed him out. I thought Miami would just be trash. Maybe, they aren’t as bad as I thought. I remain skeptical of the Dolphins and their passing game. If Devante Parker is back does Stills role change?  AS always please read Evan Silva’s weekly game reports.

This week there are a few people who are still too cheap for their current role. James Conner and Greg Kittle are the two best examples. They are both still under priced for their expected roles on Sunday.  Devonte Freeman was just ruled out for Sunday, so expect a lot of Tevin Coleman love to come. (Just a reminder that cash games are all head-to-heads, 50/50’s and double ups. Tourney’s or GPP’s are events with larger prize pools and different payouts the higher you score. I normally make one cash lineup and several GPP lineups every week)

Current Player Pool

QB
Case Keenum – Still too cheap and against a bad defense.
Ben Roethlisberger –KC defense is bad and Ben will bounce back at home.
Pat Mahomes – My god is he good. ALL THE POINTS IN PITTSBURGH.
Jimmy G –Good matchup after a bad one at home. Favorite secret stack.
Matt Stafford – NO ONE IS PLAYING HIM AFTER MONDAY.

RB
Rex Burkhead – Pats down to two healthy RB’s.
Melvin Gordon – He is going to get close to 30 touches and every Baltimore RB scored against Buffalo.
Todd Gurley – Touches are solid and in a great spot.
Christian McCaffrey – His market share goes up without Olsen
James White – Pats lost another RB on Sunday.
Alvin Kamara – Great spot, but price is very high.
James Connor – 100% exposure again incoming.
TJ Yeldon – If Fournette is out he is in play.
Tevin Coleman – Welp, the RB position just got a lot easier.

WR
Dede Westbrook – so cheap and again Bortles has to throw to someone.
Emmanuel Sanders – Until his price is much higher, I’m in.
Antonio Brown – CASH GAME LOCK.
Keenan Allen – Buffalo.
Tyrell the Gazelle Williams – Buffalo.
TY Hilton –Gonna have to throw.
Michael Thomas –Browns got burned in the rain by AB.
Chris Godwin— If DJax is out, I’m playing him.
Marques Goodwin- If he’s playing, I love him.
Pierre Garcon – One SF WR is going to be on my team.
TYFREAK – Have you seen him play?
Golden Tate – Detroit offense has to be better. Still got double digit targets.
Kenny Golladay – Sneaky shootout game in San Fran.
Devin Funchess – Target share goes up without Olsen.
Dante Pettis- If Goodwin is out, cheap option.
Qunicy Enunwa- Ten targets on Darnolds 21 pass attempts.

Tight End
Greg Kittle – Should be 1k more.
Jack Doyle – Still too cheap.
Vance McDonald –If healthy. (Might never be)
Jonnu Smith – Very cheap and Gronk did well last week against them.

This is where I am currently. I’ll post my stacks on Sunday to give a clear picture of who I am really backing. Did I miss anyone?
